Question

Match the following parts of the ear with their functions.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Column I}& \text{Column II}\\ \text{i. Pinna}& \text{a. Collects Vibrations in the air}\\ \text{ii. Cochlea}& \text{b. Region between Pinna and eardrum}\\ \text{iii. Meatus}& \text{c. Transfers vibrations to ear ossicles}\\ \text{iv. Tympanic membrane}& \text{d. Transforms sound to nerve impulses}\\ \text{v. Eustachian tube}& \text{e. Equalises pressure between the inner and outer ear}\end{array}$

• A. i ➡ a, ii ➡ d, iii ➡ b, iv ➡ d v ➡ e
• B. i ➡ e, ii ➡ c, iii ➡ b, iv ➡ a, v ➡ d
• C. i ➡ d, ii ➡ e, iii ➡ a, iv ➡ b, v ➡ b
• D. i ➡ c, ii ➡ a, iii ➡ e, iv ➡ c, v ➡ d

Answer 1

The correct option is A

i ➡ a, ii ➡ d, iii ➡ b, iv ➡ d v ➡ e

The parts of the ear with their functions are as follows:

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Column I}& \text{Column II}\\ \text{i. Pinna}& \text{a. Collects Vibrations in the air}\\ \text{ii. Cochlea}& \text{d. Transforms sound to nerve impulses}\\ \text{iii. Meatus}& \text{b. Region between Pinna and eardrum}\\ \text{iv. Tympanic membrane}& \text{c. Transfers vibrations to ear ossicles}\\ \text{v. Eustachian tube}& \text{e. Equalises pressure between the inner and outer ear}\end{array}$
